Book Review : Marie Kondo - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying

I just got the time to write after so long. Yet, I need to find time to write rather than to wait for the time to arrive. Anyways, I would like to share the third book of September (it's nearly mid-October sistah!) It was the utmost Marie Kondo Book - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying. 

For some people, even me myself never thought that tidying activity could even make a book! Obviously, Marie Kondo proves that tidying is a world's problem. Her love for tidiness and cleanliness had made a huge business run, especially in Japan. There are few take away from my reading,

Start by discarding your items 

Discard all of the unnecessary items in your closet, cabinet, or wherever you keep your stuff. Don't let the habit of hoarding things to be your belongings. You need to learn to let go of the past and ready for the future. 

Keep your items accordingly

Arrange your items following their type. For example, in a wardrobe, keep your t-shirt in the same area and not mix around with your socks or pants. 

Appreciate your items

Never make your socks like a ball. It has been the whole day your socks protecting your feet, and being in the wardrobe is the only time for its to rest. Twirling it like a ball makes the thread stretched and it hurt. *I do not know whether MK can hear the socks screaming or not, but yeah, it does make sense anyway. 

Say Thank You

Say thank you to all of your unnecessary items before you discard it. Say thank you to your current items because it helps you to get through the day. This is more to be grateful and conveying gratitude for everything that we have.

Spark joy

After all, just keep items that spark joy to your life. Even though the item was given by your beloved sayang, or your mom, or your sisters, but when you look at it, you're not using it and not even sparks any joy, JUST GET RID OF IT. 

Let's start tidying our space and trying to reduce too much of buying new things *food tak apa hekhekhek. Clear space, clear mind. I bet there is more to talk about in this book, but maybe you guys can share your thoughts with me too.  That is all from me, Thank you!

P/S: Thank you Mr H for giving me the book!

Why I love to hike

Why I love to hike? It is a kind of… I-don’t-know-how-to-answer question. Mom asked me previously, “ape yang seronok sangat panjat bukit ni semua? Tak penat ke?” Okay, hmmm… she gave me a spark of bursting questions to myself, why ah? Why? Oh why? Ive started joining to this activity after facing so-called heartbreaking moment in my love life, hey, thanks cause made me enjoying hiking until today. It was a kind of releasing activity which always hit the adrenaline rush button, yes, every time and it was full of satisfaction. Hiking? Indeed a very tiring activity, but it is very good in boosting self-motivation and building characters. You see, the hills, the mountains, you need to make steps in order to reach the top, thus, all the way to the summit, there are challenges rumbling onto you. Exciting at the starting point and cannot wait to reach the top, however, full of regrets during ascending the hills, you gonna hear villains wailing in your ears  ’why im doing all th...

New Year 2022 Trip- Perlis

 Dear lovely readers, It has been quite some time that I haven't write a thing in this space. Somewhat a 'hidden' gem. Anyways, I wanted to share on my recent visit to Perlis. Hopefully, this can help those who planned to have a nice weekend later on.  Alhamdulillah, me and my husband decided to make a trip to the smallest state in Malaysia celebrating the New Year 2022. Since the border is still open for the time being, it is certainly the best opportunity to grab before it closes back due to pandemic.  Why Perlis tho?  Perlis has been underrated for the past few years, as people might think that there's not much of fun things to explore there. Anyways, this state has grew a lot these recent years with so many attractions despite of the current pandemic. Okay, let's straight to what we have done in this Indera Kayangan state.  So we started our journey on Saturday, 1st January 2022 from Sungai Petani, Kedah. We chose Padang Besar as our first pit stop of the da...
